Jackstraw – Sunday Never Comes

  • April 11, 2012

Portland, OR based five-piece stringband Jackstraw is out with their sixth acoustic album, Sunday Never Comes. The band, their music, and the album itself embody a masterful blend of old and new, from the composition of the longtime lineup now joined by Cory Goldman of the Water Tower Bucket Boys (banjo), to classic Appalachian and fingerpicked bluegrass filtered through a modern Pacific Northwest roots and punk-inflected lens, to original recordings funded by social entrepreneur fundraising site Kickstarter. Check out Sunday Never Comes for an energetic and engaging take on traditional sounds. Fans based in the PNW region can catch them live on tour or at annual festivals such as Montana’s Kootenai River Bluegrass Fest and Wintergrass. – Written by SMarx
